1.
WHAT RIASTAP IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
_WHAT IS RIASTAP? _
Riastap contains human fibrinogen which is a protein important for
blood clotting
(coagulation). Lack of fibrinogen means that the blood does not clot
as quickly as it should,
which results in an increased tendency of bleeding. The replacement of
human fibrinogen
with Riastap will correct the coagulation defect.
_WHAT IS RIASTAP USED FOR? _
Riastap is used for treatment of bleeding in patients with a
congenital lack of fibrinogen
(hypo- or afibrinogenaemia) with bleeding tendency.
2.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU USE RIASTAP
The following sections contain information that your doctor should
consider before you are
given Riastap.
DO NOT USE RIASTAP:
•
if you are allergic to human fibrinogen or any of the other
ingredients of this medicine
(listed in section 6).
PLEASE INFORM YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO ANY MEDICINE OR FOOD.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Treatment of bleeding in patients with congenital hypo-, or
afibrinogenaemia with
bleeding tendency.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Treatment should be initiated under the supervision of a physician
experienced in the
treatment of coagulation disorders.
_POSOLOGY_
The dosage and duration of the substitution therapy depend on the
severity of the
disorder, location and extent of bleeding and the patient’s clinical
condition.
The (functional) fibrinogen level should be determined in order to
calculate individual
dosage and the amount and frequency of administration should be
determined on an
individual patient basis by regular measurement of plasma fibrinogen
level and
continuous monitoring of the clinical condition of the patient and
other replacement
therapies used.

Normal plasma fibrinogen level is in the range of 1.5 – 4.5 g/l. The
critical plasma
fibrinogen level below which haemorrhages may occur is approximately
0.5 – 1.0 g/l.
In case of major surgical intervention, precise monitoring of
replacement therapy by
coagulation assays is essential.
Initial Dose
If the patient’s fibrinogen level is not known, the recommended dose
is 70 mg per kg of
body weight (BW) administered intraven
